That's right, feed your dairy
herd our remarkable new
Full Time" forage, and within
a week, you could see results
like those at Michigan State University (MSU)
Cows fed Cargill's new FuHTime forage hybrids
on average consumed 8 percent more dry
A Forage Like This Only Comes Around Once In
A Blue Moon. There are at least two ways fiber
digestibility can improve a cow's performance
One, by increasing the energy density of its
diet, and the other, by increasing dry-matter
intake. It's these two components working
together that explain the remarkable test results
with Full Time forage. You see, our new line of
Full Time forages contain up to 40 percent less
indigestible lignin than traditional hybrids. This
means that Full Time forage rates higher in fiber
digestibility. That, in turn, contributes to the

matter, resulting in 5.5
more pounds of milk per
cow per day while showing
improved body condition
increase in dry-matter intake of nearly 4/4
pounds per cow per day in the MSU trial. By
digesting fiber more rapidly and more com-
pletely, cows can move feed out of the rumen
more quickly and make room'for more feed. This
translates into more energy for milk production
in an optimally balanced ration and is what
makes Full Time forage a nutritional breakthrough
issues related to hay crops. Or balance grain
yield over forage quality like you do with other
hybrids. With Full Time forage you get high-fiber
digestibility, low lignin, improved dry-matter
intake, better cow performance, and perhaps
best of all, a harvest that's only once a year,
